This book contends with the question of how to decolonise criminology and discusses a number of key aspects of the debate. It sets out to consider differing aspects of criminology, including its history as a discipline, its context within the empire, its location within higher education (a system itself still steeped in colonial ideas and practices) and its relationship to criminal justice systems, with their own well-documented racially mediated brutality. It aims to expand the criminological lens and seek ways to enhance participation within criminological debate of those groups who have been excluded from participation and power. This book aims to follow a path already established by scholars in the global South, as well as engaging with marginalised communities within the global South who have not yet been fully accepted into the academy. It outlines a practical toolkit to support higher education institutions to decolonise their criminology curricula. It considers what the decolonial endeavour means within academic criminology, criminal justice-related professionals and within communities.
